Unlike the summers, where you can predict them with 95% accuracy a year in advance, the winters around here are quite variable. Our first two winters down here were extremely cold - one of which was the coldest on record. Since then we've had some very mild winters ... last year's January was mostly 70s and a few 80s as I recall, but this too was unusual. This January appears to be a bit colder than average - but far better than our first two. The good thing about winters down here is that typically these cold snaps last only a few days, followed by a beautiful warm spell.

If your idea of January in TV is to be out by the pool every day, then you probably will be disappointed. But, if you are looking for golfing, biking, walking weather, the typical January day down here is just fine.

Note, while you may feel as if most days have had highs in the low 60s or lower, in actuality, 14 out of the first 21 days have had highs of 65 or above, with several days in the high 70s and 80s:
